Current Events Week 18

 A 6 year old boy in Maryland was recently suspended for pointing his finger at another student and saying "pow" as if he was shooting her. The school says it doesn't want anything to do with guns or shootings at their school and that is why they suspended him. The school says that he was also suspended because he has been  warned about doing things like this before. The parents say that this was just a reaction to recent shootings and that at the most is worth a detention. I don't think kids should be doing things like this but i feel the school overreacted and the school should just have a teacher explain to him that it is wrong.
